Stiching Photos In PS CS3 (Exposure Difference)
Anyone come across this before?
In PS CS3, if you stitch multiple exposures by going to Scripts Load Files Into Stack (Automatically Align Source Images), there are slight exposure differences between the images (I.E. you can see the square edges of the individual photos where there are exposure differences). The shots were all taken using manual exposure so the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc were identical, and also identical RAW settings were used for all shots in ACR before stacking them. I can't think why there should be any exposure differences between shots when it stitches them together. http://i42.tinypic.com/2mi5i4z.jpg |

You say that it was all a single exposure setting. Are you sure? Did the light change between shots? The 'upper band' is a bit darker suggesting that either the light changed or the metering did. This is not, btw, "stacking" but mosaic/panoramic. Stacking refers to two other processes (one for DOF deepening and one for noise reduction in (mainly) astrophotography). -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |

Why is speculation. -- John McWilliams |

I must admit, the first thing that came to my mind too was that it could have been due to lens light fall off at the edges, but I had the benefit of seeing the whole picture/the individual photos and as John mentioned, this was not the cause. Well, I am still not sure why it is doing it, however I think that I was maybe using the wrong tool for the job. If I use 'Automate Photomerge', instead of 'Scripts Load Files Into Stack (Automatically Align Source Images)', there's no problem. For some strange reason, I thought that loading them into a stack was a better technique than using Photomerge, but it turns out this is not the case. Here's a comparison (Photomerge is the bottom one): http://i39.tinypic.com/2a0gbw7.jpg |

While vignetting may well be there, the problem is overshadowed (pun intended) by the absolute differences in exposure. -- John McWilliams |
